Guides

Use these guides after the quickstart when you know what kind of application you need to test.

Guide	Start here when
Native Windows Apps	The app is Win32, WPF, WinForms, MFC, or VB6
Delphi / VCL and Lazarus	The app is built with Delphi (RAD Studio) or Lazarus/LCL
PowerBuilder	The app is a PowerBuilder client (Appeon or classic)
Electron	The app is built with Electron or Chromium UI
Embedded Web	The app hosts web content (Electron, CEF, WebView2 overview)
WebView2	The app embeds Microsoft Edge WebView2
CEF and Legacy IE	The app embeds CEF or old Trident/MSHTML controls
Java Swing / AWT	The app is a Java desktop application
Oracle Forms	The app is an Oracle Forms client (Java applet / Web Start)
Qt 5 / Qt 6	The app uses Qt widgets (financial, trading, KDE, AMD/NVIDIA control panels)
IBM Mainframe	The test drives a 3270 / 5250 terminal session or an HLLAPI emulator
Office	The test needs Excel or Word automation through COM
SAP GUI for Windows	The test targets classic SAP GUI with SAP GUI Scripting enabled
Image-Based Fallback	Accessibility APIs cannot see a rendered control
Headless Mode	You need to run tests on a hidden Windows desktop
CI Setup	You need artifact collection and Windows runner guidance

Prefer UIA or Win32 selectors when they are available. Use image matching only for controls that are not exposed through accessibility APIs.
